I guess a couple hundred were customers that were waiting on the LRS and switched to the +. Some orders have been pending since last November!! So my wait should be shorter than that. As usual, great people to deal with. The new stands are being offered for $289.

Atver Audiophile Posts: 1117 Location: Arizona Joined: October 5, 2004	Yeah, I noticed that too, it does say they are working on a new web site though. I sent an email and was contacted the next day. They are a small company of only 30 people, so I'm sure it's a lot of work trying to keep up. I'm glad to see them doing well.

last week they told me the list was 250, posted on July 29, 2022 at 14:40:05

Atver Audiophile Posts: 1117 Location: Arizona Joined: October 5, 2004	Were you on the list for the original LRS? I guess they get theirs first since they had been waiting the longest. I remember reading the 250 number, so was surprised when she said "over" 400.

Davey	The way I understand it, there isn't any performance advantage. It's an identical speaker except for aesthetic changes to the profile. Dave.

Davey	He does? I saw that video when it came out. He says it sounds different, but he's a "reviewer" and a complete non-technical guy, so I don't put any weight in his evaluation at all. Plus, he says he asked Magnepan what the difference is, and they were mum. Dave.

Atver Audiophile Posts: 1117 Location: Arizona Joined: October 5, 2004	that the + was thinner ? They were already pretty thin, LOL so I'm not sure what that means. She also said a pair of stands to raise them is a must to get the most out of them, whether theirs or aftermarket. I expect we will find out soon enough what the differences are.

Davey

If the motors are different in some way I might believe there's a potential difference (or maybe improvement) in the "+" model.
But if not, it's either a slight change in a crossover component value and/or the reconfiguration of the stand scheme. In either of those cases an existing user can update his/her own speakers. :)

The pathetic answers from Magnepan to legitimate user/customer questions is growing quite tiresome and irritating.

Dave.

Davey	Those should be fun and a nice addition to your collection. I had the LFT-8 hybrid.....so somewhat a different beast. Dave.

Those who have heard it (I haven't) say it has better resolution. I'm told the stand also makes a big difference. Nothing secret about that, LOL. I did it with my MMG's years ago and I assume you mounted yours vertically above the sub?

RE: Magnepan Lady said..., posted on August 2, 2022 at 07:36:29
Davey	So, the actual transducer unit of the "+" speaker IS different???? Why can't they just say that for crying out loud???? :) Dave.

neolith Audiophile Posts: 4842 Location: Virginia Joined: February 21, 2002 Contributor Since: December 2, 2004	I wonder if a "+" improvement is different from an "i" improvement. At this point the only known common factor is that no one knows what is involved in the "improvement". "Our head is round in order to allow our thoughts to change direction." Francis Picabia

My argument was that if I'm a customer why would I want the + over the non? Below is a video I did with him about the new Magnepan Woofer prototype. Will be releasing the interview soon that talks about the LRS vs. LRS+ as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4s9BqABrRv4
